Melbourne City Adventure
Yesterday I spent the day in the city centre of Melbourne with one of my oldest and dearest friends. He is really into photography and has an awesome photography based business back in Hobart. We chatted, had lots of cups of tea/coffee and wander around taking photos. These are some of the ones I took…

Quiz times
I recently submitted a (potentially) humourous quiz that I’d written to the Monash University campus magazine, Lot’s Wife. Unfortunately they chose not to accept the submission, they said it was not suited to their readership and that the concept was ‘overdone’ (they’re probably right). Regardless of this setback, I liked my quiz and feel like you…

Writing Games
Today I spent a couple of hours this afternoon with a group of people doing writing games. This was organised by through a Writers’ Meetup group and consisted of eight people, none of whom I’d met before as it was my first outing with this group. After a brief period of chatting and socialising the…

Competition
This is just going to be a short one, I haven’t been posting a lot because I’ve been spending a lot of time doing, well, other stuff. What is this other stuff? You may ask. Well, I have submitted my NaNoWriMo manuscript to a couple of publishers for consideration, so I’m quite pleased with myself…

Bright Sunshiney Day
Today I bought myself a new toy! I bought a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens for my camera. I have been reading a bit about fixed focal length lenses and I have come to understand that they are good for portraiture, as well as being faster (thus allowing lower light photos to come out better).…

Fragile Moments
The following is a bit of a rambling rant. Please don’t feel any obligation to read it. Today I’m sad. I have had an exhausting week up in Sydney doing training for my day job. The stuff covered was leadership, conflict management, and HR skills. Four and a half days of trying to work out…

So, how have you been lately?
I feel like I haven’t been updating as often as I should, and I’m sorry to say it’s because I haven’t been doing so great lately. I’ve been dealing with some stuff that’s come up in therapy and to be honest it’s been taking up a lot of my time just keeping myself afloat. I’ve…

Daylesford Adventure
Last Sunday I drove about 120km out of Melbourne to Daylesford. The area is well known for it’s natural mineral springs, and was a favoured holiday spot of families and glitterazzi in times gone by. Apparently my maternal great grandparents were among those who frequented the area. The spring water is slightly fizzy with a…

Alowyn Gardens Adventure
Today my housemate and I went on an adventure to Kinglake and Alowyn Gardens near Yarra Glen in Victoria. I took 125 photos, but I thought I’d just share some of the really good ones. Gourds in a wheelbarrow. This really reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Lovely colourful grasses. The sunniest sunflower. A birch forest.…
